Ok, so we had to do some investigating to working this one out properly, as it looks pretty similar to the old model, albeit some suitable changes. Oh, and the fact that Merida posted a not-so-sly Instagram post:

Merida wasn’t the only brand debuting some new bling, and Zipp had something to say about a rather special pair of wheels.

These are its new 454 NSW disc brake wheels, which take the same design – albeit a few disc specific tweaks – as their whale inspired siblings. Without a traditional rim brake track, though, the Hyperfoil nodes can extend all the way to the outer rim, increasing something Zipp calls “aerobalance”.

That’s not all, either, and Zipp has been busy beavering away on a brand new wheelset. These are the 302 carbon clincher, and they’re available in both rim brake and disc brake models.

Chain Reaction has been busy over the last week desperately trying to get rid of all its left over stock. Which is great because it means mega cheap deals for you and me. We hand picked the choicest ones.
